CLOSE-UP WITH DOTTIE TARBELL

A Spotlight On Families At The Ringling

We asked one of our youngest members – Dottie – what she enjoys about The Ringling. She had a lot to share! Dad, Rob Tarbell, and Dottie joined The Ringling in May 2013.

To The Bolger Playspace!

Climb to the top of the slide, cover our eyes, scream all the way down, then do it again! Climb on the little house and call monkeys on the intercom! Take a breather in the basket swings – whew. Back to the BIG slide!

Lunchtime!

To the Banyan Café for yummy treats.

Off to Circus Museum!

Hunt for monkeys in the Banyan trees on our way. Straight to the high wire! Do tricks on the pony! Shoot the cannon! How high can it go? Drive the clown car – it’s so tiny!

Pink museum or Courtyard? Courtyard! Find the dancing girl statue.

To the Dwarf Garden!

Play duck duck goose - but they never chase me. Silly statues.

Daddy needs coffee…. Pick up clown noses in the gift shop on our way upstairs to Starbucks.

Plan our next adventure….Summer Circus!

Daddy and Dottie had a happy-ever-after-day at The Ringling!
